Thermal behaviors, combustion mechanisms, evolved gasses, and ash analysis of spent potlining for a hazardous waste management
Highlights Thermal degradation behaviors of spent potlining (SPL) were quantified. An exothermic reaction dominated the overall reaction process. Fluoride volatilization rate in the flue gasses was 2.24%. Kinetic triplets pointed to the best-fit reaction model as the n-th order mechanism. The mineral deposition mechanisms and ash slagging tendency were predicted. Abstract An unavoidable but reusable […]

Aluminium compound deconstructs sulfur hexafluoride in minutes
Researchers in the UK have developed a fast and mild method for deconstructing SF6. The method converts the potent greenhouse gas into stable aluminium(iii) fluoride and sulfide compounds, which can serve as nucleophilic sources of F? and S2- in further reactions to make valuable organic products.

Cryolite: In a photo story set to a soundtrack, a photographer journeys through the site of ecological disaster
Artist Lena Tsibizova is a maverick by nature. Having lived most of her life in Moscow, she often feels confined to the boundaries of the city: enormous as it is, its streets bear too many personal reminders to allow for unbiased wandering. In an urge to escape, she headed to Kuvandyk, a decaying industrial town […]

Tiwai Point monitoring bores under threat from coastal erosion
New environmental data at Tiwai Pt aluminium smelter shows sea level rise is destroying bores within scores of metres of where 100,000 tonnes of hazardous waste is stored. Photo: RNZ / Nate McKinnon Coastal erosion has already shut down one bore used to monitor groundwater for pollution, and threatens to take out a second. These […]
